Book Signing and Reading

On Thursday, November 19th at 7.30p.m. I will be appearing at Words Bookstore in Maplewood, NJ. I will be reading from my memoir, I THOUGHT I GREW UP, an Award-Winning Finalist of the National Best Books 2009 Awards.

If you're coming from NYC, it's 30 minutes from Penn Station on NJ Transit! Just take the train to Maplewood, NJ. Two blocks from the train station you'll find Words at 179 Maplewood Avenue. As easy as pie ;-)

Come on down and pick up a copy for the fabulous person stuffing your bird next week ;-)

I'll be reading from the book and signing copies. Spread the word and invite your friends!

Words is an amazing bookstore with a big heart. Whether you can make it to the reading or not, you must stop by Words and support this great independent bookstore.

It’s not just Hollywood. It’s big business. It’s small
business. It’s walking down the street. It’s all over America. It’s the
President of the United States.
I’m a woman of a ‘certain age’ so I remember when sexual
harassment and discrimination were not only legal, but expected. Decades ago
the laws changed allowing for women to make a legal stand when they were
victimized, but they didn’t. Did the abuse stop? No. The bad boys lawyered up
and new ways were found to keep women in their place.
I was once an actress and singer and I can attest to the
fact that the casting couch was a very real thing. I also worked in the
business world for most of my life and can tell you that the abuse was just as unbridled
there.
I am sure that most women have experienced some form of
harassment or discrimination, we just don’t know exactly what to do about it. We
whisper in hallways, hinting at wrongdoings and guiding those women coming up
after us. Some men stand silent and some join in. My stor…

Exactly 5 weeks ago a man opened fire on the crowd at a music concert, killing 59. When voices rose up to protest current gun laws, Republican lawmakers suggested it was too soon. Too soon because the nation was hurting.

We have waited to long too have that discussion. We have waited too long to come out in support of sweeping gun control legislation. We have waited too long to make a change.

This morning, in Sutherland Springs,Texas, a young man walked into a church and began shooting. He killed at least 26 men, women, and children before fleeing. That is what comes from waiting.

Each time we face a tragic shooting Americans pause and grieve and wonder how something so horrible can happen here. Sadly, the only place shootings like this occur with such regularity is in the United States of America.

We are divided, and for the life of me I cannot understand why. What is so wrong with discussing gun control? I do not own a gun nor will I permit anyone to bring one to my …

A mentally ill young man was able to buy a terrible weapon of mass destruction and used it to destroy several lives this weekend.

I struggle to make sense of the recent tragic shooting in Arizona as I hear the words of self-important politicians, political pundits and shock jocks ricocheting through the airwaves like so many bullets, each one believing they can repel those missile-like words like Superman.

There is no sense to be made of it.

There is no Superman.

It is true that there will never be a gun in my house. I made that decision 37 years ago and stand by it.

You can have a gun in your house, but you are not welcome to bring it to mine.

I believe with all my heart that guns have no place at a grocery store parking lot, and challenge anyone to explain why I might be wrong.
